Preamble / postamble
The MicroBar NX can send preambles and postambles—control codes before and after
each message—to emulate command keys on the keyboard and allow automatic data
entry:

A customizable symbology identifier can be inserted after the preamble (
Ð
Code mark).
You can include an input identification string before or after the barcode data (
